00:05Hi, I'm Kyesung. I'm a nail artist based in New York City at Rickett Chill House. I know some of
00:11you have been holding on to your last manicure for a couple of weeks now, so please watch and
00:15learn how to remove your gel nails at home safely without ripping your nails off. These are the
00:21stuff we're gonna be using today, a nail file, buffer, cuticle oil. If you don't have cuticle
00:27oil, you can use any oil. Same with the pusher. If you don't have pusher, you can use a spoon,
00:3490 to 100 percent acetone, cotton balls, and some foils. First, file on top.
00:43Take all the shine off.
00:48I'm not filing this too because I have C&D shellac since they are like way softer gel than the
00:54other
00:54gels and it soaks off faster without filing it on top. Time to wrap your nails. Take a piece of
01:02cotton, just enough of acetone. Put it in the right place where the polish is. Make sure that the shiny
01:12part is always inside. The same thing.
01:29Okay, wrapped it up. I'm gonna leave it like this for five to ten minutes while I sit and wait.
01:35I'm
01:35hoping all of you are doing good. Social distancing was kind of hard at first. Keeping myself busy by
01:42making new makeup looks, nail art, sketching, painting, and lots of TikTok videos. I've also
01:49been reaching out to my friends and family that I haven't spoken in a while. I've also been doing the
01:54same with my parents a lot more than before. Every morning and night because they are in India right
02:02now due to the time difference, that's the only time I can talk. I hope you guys are also keeping
02:08in touch with your families, staying inside healthy and safe. It's already been 10 minutes. Let's check
02:16if the gels are out. What you gotta do now is take the spoon and scrape them off gently.
02:32Don't put too much pressure, okay? Just take the ones that wants to come off.
02:41As you can see, almost everything is off. Buffer to make it smooth.
02:58I'm gonna go wash my hands now. Your nails
03:01gonna look a little dry, so I would recommend you to put some cuticle oil.
03:14Do you see them? All clean and healthy. I'm all finished removing my gels. If you have acrylics,
03:22it's almost the same process. You just have to file and wrap your nails couple more times in between.
03:27When social distancing is done, come visit me at Chill House. Stay safe and thanks for watching.
03:33Stay safe and thanks for watching.
03:33I'll see you next time.
